Also use light mid-note fixatives like copaiba balsam, and try fixing your alcohol with up to 5% glycerin or benzoin.<br /><br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-48940726968670772742011-07-17T19:11:56.211-04:002011-07-17T19:11:56.211-04:00Hi Laura:

Even Twitter is in the doldrums ;-)<br /><br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-71624474031867881222011-07-17T17:42:41.244-04:002011-07-17T17:42:41.244-04:00Hi Anya,

A lot of customers seem to want something light, fresh etc. A lot of them seem to really want citrus notes specifically. As we all know, this is not so practical in a natural perfume; the customer winds up disappointed about longevity.<br /> When formulating a perfume, how do you negotiate between these two conflicting things?Fallahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-37582823644231589162011-07-17T17:26:31.107-04:002011-07-17T17:26:31.107-04:00I'd love to hear anything you were hoping to t...I'd love to hear anything you were hoping to talk about.

When I am ready to make the perfume, I mix the compound by weight, and add the alcohol by volume.<br /><br />There are many techniques, and I wanted to talk about them, but it's a lazy, quiet Sunday, and not much chat.<br /><br />Then, of course, there's the techniques taught in the Intermediate course ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by<br /><br />Anyaanyasgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223385840614041356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502094.post-68988988691324039672011-07-17T14:20:34.672-04:002011-07-17T14:20:34.672-04:00Anya,
